Sinoda : You disapprove of beauty?
Adam Adamant : Shall we say that I don't make it a fetish?
Sinoda : Beauty is not a fetish, it is the sublime truth.
Adam Adamant : It is also only in the eye of the beholder.
Sinoda : That is a feeble excuse to justify ugliness.
Adam Adamant : But ugliness and beauty need no justification. Without one, how could we recognize the other?
Sinoda : I disagree. Beauty is a form of genius. It's higher indeed than genius...

Sinoda : I see you know your Oscar Wilde.
Adam Adamant : Personally.

Adam Adamant : You overrate yourself, Sinoda, and I shall show you little mercy.
Sinoda : [laughs] You really are an incredible optimist.
